Entertainment Systems RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts . Allowable frequencies are : a â AM 530 , 540 â 1600 , 1610 kHz b â FM 87.9 , 88.1 â 107.7 , 107.9 MHz Not all frequencies are used in a given area . a Some radios may tune up to 1710 kHz . b Some radios may tune down to 87.7 MHz . RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS Three factors can affect radio reception : â Distance / strength . The further an FM signal travels , the weaker it is . The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km ( 24 miles ) . This range can be affected by â signal modulation . â Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength / volume relative to other stations . â Terrain . Hills , mountains and tall buildings between your vehicleâs antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems . Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines , electric fences , traffic lights and thunderstorms . Moving away from an interfering structure ( out of its â shadow â ) returns your reception to normal . â Station overload . Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger signals when you pass a broadcast tower . A stronger signal may temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station frequency is displayed . The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo . AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTIES AND SERVICE Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information . If service is necessary , see your dealer or a qualified technician . 50 Page: 51
